Almost geodesic mappings onto generalized Ricci-symmetric manifolds

Abstract

Our aim is to continue investigations concerning existence of almost geodesic mappings of manifolds with linear connection. We deduce necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of the so-called canonical almost geodesic mappings of type π of a manifold endowed with a linear connection onto generalized Ricci-symmetric manifolds. Our result is a generalization of some previous results by N. S. Sinyukov.
